There is no relationship between Charlie Sheen and TRIO (very good thing)...but 
imagine if we had the same publicity as he has had these past few weeks....

BUT WE CAN !!!  We have many of our colleagues right now who have sacrificed 
their time, money, and feet to Walk The Hill TODAY, to have TRIO's voice HEARD 
!!!

Here is where YOU come in andwhat you do: 

Take 3 minutes to  CALL 3 people and explain how you have seen TRiO work: CALL 
the  Washington, DC offices of your 2 Senators and Congressional  
Representative. Explain to them how you have received educational  support from 
a TRiO program and that increased funding from Congress is  needed to maintain 
these vital services.  As you are calling the DC  offices TODAY, TRiO supporters 
could actually be in their offices right now as you talk to their aides. 


Everyone's voice is needed!!!!

Here is how you can call:

US House of Reps:  http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/ttd.html
(Calls from outside the Capitol complex can be made by dialing (202) 22 plus the 
five-digit number listed in this directory).
Message: "Please support President Obama's 67 Million dollar increase for TRIO 
programs."

Senate:  http://www.theorator.com/senate.html
Message: "Please support President Obama's 67 Million dollar increase for TRIO 
programs and to OPPOSE H.R. 1 (which results in a $24.9 mil cut for TRIO and 
50,000 students lost and counting."


REMEMBER: DC is 3 hours ahead of us, so CALL NOW and use your cell phones to 
call, IT ONLY TAKES 3 minutes.

thanks,
